Captains View
Aaron Finch
We gonna have a bowl first. Looks like a really good wicket, just want to exploit any moisture on offer. Wasn’t an ideal result last game, had a few days to relax and regroup and a couple of good days training.
One change for us. Mitch Marsh comes back in for Ashton Agar. We are going with seven specialist batters again, pretty much how we started the tournament and nothing more than that.
Mahmudullah
Looks a good wicket to bat, we need to bat well and put a decent total on the board. It has been tough in this tournament, we didn’t play to our potential and it’s the last opportunity for us.
Want for play for pride and try to prove ourselves again. We got one change. Nasum is not playing and Fizzy (Mustafizur) comes back in.

Player of the Match
Adam Zampa
First 5-fer it is always a pretty nice feeling. I have been playing for 5-6 years and that’s one eluded me for a while.
I think I had three overs between that over and the hat-trick ball, I thought I was the only one who knew (about the hat-trick ball).. but if it wouldn’t have been for Wadey’s hands I wouldn’t be getting so many wickets, he’s been keeping beautifully well, tough catch but just happy with the win. I think it (wrist-spinners being successful) is a bit of both (conditions and skill).
The quicks have been tough to score off in the powerplay, also guys like Maxwell doing well which gives me a chance to pick wickets in the middle overs. There have been some really good wrist spinners and they are getting wickets because teams are coming harder in the middle overs.
It does change my role (when I’m the lone spinner) but I don’t feel any added pressure, even when Ash (Agar) plays my role is to pick wickets in the middle. Sometimes you bowl in the powerplay and sometimes in the back end, but the overs I bowled today were purely to take wickets. We needed to chase down a low score today and we tried to be aggressive.
